New City Plan

Find out about our preparations for a new City Plan that will help shape future development in the city until 2044.

A new City Plan

We're preparing a new City Plan which will set out a framework of planning policies to guide future development in the city up to 2044. We're preparing it under the new national plan-making system.

We'll adopt the new City Plan in 2029. Until then our current City Plan Part One and City Plan Part Two will remain in effect.
